Did you recently upgrade cairo? ("qlop -lu cairo" will tell) If so, does downgrading to the previous version help? well, Thu Jul 18 08:36:51 2013 >>> x11-libs/cairo-1.12.14-r3 is the last one, even earlier I upgraded from 1.12.12, here: Thu Apr 11 08:45:51 2013 <<< x11-libs/cairo-1.12.12-r1 Thu Apr 11 08:45:54 2013 >>> x11-libs/cairo-1.12.14 So it seems to me that this happened a bit of time ago to be a possible cause, but If you have a suggestion about the version downgrade to I will surely give it a try; let's say x11-libs/cairo-1.12.12-r1? x11-libs/cairo-1.12.14-r3 introduced some changes to xcb build parameters. But if the problem already existed before upgrading to that version, then something else is at fault. To help isolate the issue, you could try to switch between SNA and UXA acceleration for xf86-video-intel, or use the unaccelerated xf86-video-modesetting driver. No luck switching back and forth between UXA and SNA; UXA is a bit slower (by deafult I use SNA, the xscreensaver beahviour (that I use as a probe) is exactly the same. Let's try with modesetting driver then, to rule out issues with intel driver modesetting driver, even much slower (as expected) than intel one, has no problem or at least I'm unable to reproduce the issue with xscreensaver. Moreover, I tried to downgrade intel driver up to 2.21.6 but the issue is always present. Given that I'm pretty sure that I had no problem when I installed 2.21.6 (18 April) i guess something happened in kernel land, I guess something around 3.10.0 More digging... Thanks for the hint! Reopen if this is still a problem. |
